I don't typically use a cake mix, but was in a hurry to get a white cake made to use for a frozen ice cream cake. I thought it turned out great!!! I layered ice cream that I had previously formed to the same size pan that i baked the cake in. Put fudge topping on the cake before topping with ice cream. Covered the whole layer cake with cool whip and then put chopped heath bars on top. I did that so the wrap wouldn't stick to the cool whip. The cake didn't freeze too hard. It had great texture and I used this recipe again even when I had more time.

    This is a very good white cake as a base for recipes such as Ultimate Lemon Layer Cake.
